does anyone know if there’s a limit on how long you can lengthen posts to? i have extremely thick lobes so ill definitely have to lengthen them
The lengthened posts are extremely long, so it should be fine, just make sure they loosen the tension on the clips also so your lobes are not pinched.
Also looking for a picture of the sweets in yellow gold pave if anyone has one! 🙏
Here is a super helpful comparison from Nicole who has owned everything!
I own them too and they are a great staple if you wear a lot of yg Alhambra necklaces. They are pretty small though. So make sure you don’t really want the Alhambra size in pave.
I typically wear smaller earrings and I’m pretty casual (but a gold and page girl) But i do want to try in other colors to for size and if they look good on me. However all my pieces are Cartier that i wear daily. Sounds like to get MTO you need to spend a minimum so i better get going.

Hello, VCA friends, 😊 I really tried to search this forum first as to not ask what could be an obvious answer, but can anyone tell me as to why the back side of my Vintage MOP Alhambra earrings are different in yellow gold verses the white gold? I just noticed this! 😇 Thanks in advance!! 💕

I don't know the answer to your question, but my white gold mother of pearl earrings (and white gold pave) have the solid disc like your yellow gold pair. If you don't get an answer here, I'd post in the VCA Discussion thread, because there are likely more people on that thread. Were both pairs purchased at a VCA boutique?
Hi, the Y back is a slightly older version and the disc back is the newer version, though there is quite a bit of crossover time-wise. I think they switched to the disk back because it can be a little bit more comfortable for some people.
I just checked my white gold versus yellow gold vintage earrings and they’re similar to yours (meaning they’re different from each other
). I would think because white gold is possibly weaker and needs a different design to help strengthen it? Or because the stone might be more translucent and they don’t want a solid piece to show through as much? I have TE yellow gold, chalcedony white gold, and MOP yellow gold in the photo.
You had me wondering, so I just double checked some of my earrings. I have newer white gold earrings with the disk back and older yellow gold earrings with the Y back. So I think the best explanation is production batch/year instead of due to the gold color. It’s confusing, because there is a big overlap (I have earrings purchased the same year that have different types of the backs).
Thank you very much, that help! I believe my white gold earrings are a little older than my yellow gold ones!
